Skyland's celebrating Independence Day in a big way today with thousands heading to Asheville's Block Party and parades across Western North Carolina marking America's 250th birthday. You'll want to bring some sunscreen as it warms up to 84 degrees under mostly overcast skies, and air quality looks great for outdoor festivities. If you're staying local, the Black Mountain Center for the Arts also announced a new executive director to lead the organization forward.
